Physical Function and Fall Risk in Older Adults in the Lalín Frailty Prevention Program

Condition(s) studied

Study summary

This prospective observational study will describe changes in physical function and fall risk among adults aged 70 years or older who participate in the routine Frailty and Falls Prevention Program at the Centro Integral de Saúde de Lalín. Clinical assessments obtained before the program (T0) and at its completion (T1, approximately 8-12 weeks later) will be analyzed. The study does not assign treatment or change routine care.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Change in Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Total Score — Baseline (T0) and end of the care program (T1, 8-12 weeks).
  Change in SPPB total score, a composite measure of lower-extremity function comprising standing balance, gait speed and chair rise. Score range: 0-12 points. Higher scores indicate better physical performance. Unit: points.
• Change in Fall Risk Indicators — Baseline (T0) and end of the care program (T1, 8-12 weeks); each assessment uses the protocol-defined recall or clinical assessment.
  Change in the three protocol-defined yes/no indicators: a fall in the preceding year requiring healthcare, two or more falls in the preceding year, and clinically relevant gait impairment. Each indicator is recorded as No or Yes; no composite score or fixed numerical range is specified. A Yes response indicates the corresponding risk feature.
